A photograph inside a temple shrine of three deity murtis decorated with garlands of white and pink flowers. The central murti wears a tall crown and gold necklaces, flanked by two figures in ornate jewelled crowns and necklaces, all set on a gold-yellow draped platform. In the foreground at left, a person in a saffron-orange garment with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala sits with palms pressed together in prayer. A second person in saffron clothing sits at the right edge, and a brass lamp and bowl are visible on the platform. The person at left shows no distinctive presentation cues strong enough to identify him as a person, so the appearance is uncertain.2014-06-29Photograph inside a temple shrine of three deity murtis decorated with garlands of white jasmine and pink and red flowers, set before a gold arched backdrop and a yellow satin cloth. The central figure is a standing murti with a tall conical crown, a white dhoti with gold border and layered gold necklaces, flanked by two companion murtis in red and orange garments and jewellery. A large mound of pink and white flower garlands lies in front of the murtis on the floor. At left, a seated man in an orange-red garment with rudraksha beads and a bangle, palms pressed together in namaskar, with a sandalwood-marked forehead, faces the shrine; a second person in orange holds a silver bowl at lower left. The page identifies the setting as a Rudrabishekam at a Spatika Linga, but no linga is clearly visible.2014-06-30 +1 copiesJune 29 20142014-06-29 +1 copiesJune 29 20142014-06-29Photograph inside a shrine niche showing a deity murti of Lord Muruga flanked by two consort statues, all adorned with floral garlands in pink, white and deep red and jewelled ornaments.
